LOUGHRAX United Prem Staff Correspondent Chicago, Nov. of a gambling; syndicate which got its start in the hey-day of Al Capone are pocketing fat profits from widespread gambling on college football games, a Chicago anti- crime leader has reported. Virgil Peterson, secretary of the Chicago Crime commission charged that betting on football "parlay cards," spreading among college and university students during the current season, was a 'vicious racket" definitely in the hands of the old Capone syndicate.

As Peterson's charges were made, the University of Illinois disciplinary committee at Champaign was considering the answers given by three students to questioning on their parts in distributing the cards on the campus. Reprimand A committee member gave an implied admission of the widespread nature of the gambling by asserting that the three students would get by with only a reprimand "because there are so many involved that we can't punish everybody." University authorities declined to disclose the students' names. Authorities here said it was known that students on some campuses act as agents for distributing the cards. They mid thai some could make as high as $100 or $150 a week on their 25 percent of the "take" on the cards. Build Business Some students have built the business to the point where they employ other students as runners, some sources said.

Maurice J. Walsh, assistant U. S. district attorney in charge of the criminal division, said he. found ill jui investigaton of "parlay card" gamblng that railroad conductors, students, clerks, newsboys, barbers, and many other in direct contact with the public at all times victory find a defeat, while Dimitt and Pottery are in the cellar with no wins.

Wilson, the lithe-limbed Negro ip-in artist who sparked Anderson High school to the 1945-46 state title, slated to start at forward for Coach Pop Hedden's Ravens.

It will be the season opener for )oth Tri-State, a wartime basketball casualty, and Anderson. Wilson, an all-state performer 'or three seasons at Anderson Sigh, scored 30 points as Anderson beat Fort Wayne Central, 67-53, in he title game, and finished with 87 points for the final four games of the tourney. The previous four- tame record was by Leroy Mangin of Washington. Two games are on tap for Frilay, Huntington opening at Fort Wayne Concordia and Oakland City returning to the cage sport after a wartime intermission by playing host to Fort Harrison.

Peterson expressed fear at the growth of gambling on college score results, saying it carried a threat of ultimate peril to the amateur, collegiate sport. Easily Concealed John Prendergast, commissioner of police in Chicago, said his officers were doing what they can to stamp out the "racket," but pointed, out -that the plant and equipment of the "parlay card" Is easily concealed, and that driven from one district of the city, they can go to another. The current drive against "parlay card" gambling at the University of Illinois began last week after Gene Shalif, Morristown, N.

sports columnist for the student newspaper, 'Daily Illini, said he knew "about 15 card hustlers on the campus." He said. all but one got their cards from a Chicago syndicate and were allowed to keep 20 percent of receipts. Expect No Action Immediaiely On Tourney Proposal No immediate action on a proposal to shift the- "Kokomo" sectional basketball tourney to Marion next spring is expected for several weeks. However, it is possible that some notice of the petition, signed by representatives of nine of the county's ten schools, may be taken Saturday. L.

V. Phillips, commissioner of the Indiana High School Athletic association, told the United Press Wednesday, "The board of control may take action on the proposal when it meets Saturday at Lafayette. However, I doubt very much that it will find time to work on tourney matters. We usually wait until December to make such decisions." The Howard county organization of coaches and principals, at a recent meeting, went on record opposing the playing of the "Kokomo" tourney in the national guard armory here and petitioned the I. H.

S. A. A. to shift the tourney, as a unit, to the Marion coliseum, which seats approximately 5,000 people, and play on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of the sectional tourney week. The proposal was made in the interest of larger financial revenue from the tourney to meet increased operating expenses in the face of limited seating capacity at the armory.

that left guard Dick Barwegen would be able to play Saturday was abandoned Wednesday when' the cast was removed from his injured knee. Tom Hard, who played 60 minutes against Minnesota, is expected to replace him. With veterans Bill Canfield, Bill Barnard and Kenny Smock on the sidelines with injuries, freshmen are expected to carry the main burden. Badgers stressed defense as the squad pointed for the season's finale at Madison against Minnesota. Right halfback Don Kindt, who has been laid low with injuries for the past three weeks, paced the varsity as first stringers stopped the attack of a team emulating the Gophers.

Minnesota Dean Widseth, first string left tackle, was hospitalized Wednesday by a severe cold, but he said health service attaches had assured him he would be released in 24 hours. Trainer Lloyd Stein said he had ordered an X-ray to be taken of Larry Silianoffs knee. The Gopher center was placed on the doubtful list for the Wisconsin game.
